As a user, clicking on the 'Overview' link for the Civic Tech Index project should open a new tab to the pdf file directly. This is made as an action item of #2211
Details
When clicking the 'Overview' link, each project page acts differently. Some open to a google docs page, others open to a github page that hosts the pdf file, and another downloads the pdf file locally to the machine. There needs to be a standard in how the pdf files open. Developers decided during the backend meeting that pdfs should be opened as a separate tab to the file directly, since modern browsers have the ability to view pdfs.
